I’m excited to announce a brand-new Github organization (ICP · GitHub) designed to bring together the ICP developer community! This will be a collaborative space for all members to contribute, innovate, and foster growth within the ICP developer ecosystem. The repos within this organization will be co-owned and maintained by our dedicated community members.
We’re eager to hear your thoughts on how we can best utilize this organization and structure its repositories. One idea is to begin with essential developer libraries, such as the ETH integration phase 1 library. Your input is invaluable, so please share your suggestions!
If you’re passionate about the ICP community and interested in becoming a maintainer of this Github organization, we’d love to hear from you. Simply leave a comment and join our mission to empower the IC developer community!
[EDIT] I should further state that this initiative is a community effort and not a Dfinity initiative, and I’m posting as a member of the community. Whether it’s possible to move existing Dfinity repos out is subject to Dfinity’s internal rules and approvals and is outside of the scope of this thread.
@frederikrothenberger In the beginning we are looking at things decoupled from the IC core infrastructure, i.e. code that does not impact the IC binaries, and does not depend on/impact Dfinity’s CI/CD pipeline. The level of existing community contribution is of lesser concern here, because the community can and do already contribute to repos in the Dfinity github org.

I’m thrilled to hear about the launch of the new Github organization. It’s an excellent initiative to bring together the ICP developer community, which will foster collaboration and innovation, ultimately leading to growth within the ecosystem.
Regarding the structure of repositories within the organization, it would be great to focus on building essential developer libraries that are required for building applications on ICP. Additionally, providing tools and frameworks that make it easier for developers to interact with ICP’s network would be valuable.
As for becoming a maintainer of the organization, I’m interested and would love to contribute my expertise to the community. Please let me know how I can get involved and support the mission of empowering the IC developer community.
Thanks for your enthusiasm and support! If you would like to be a maintainer, please tell us a bit more about yourself, so that the community could know who you are and why you’re here.

@quint Thanks! I’ve sent you an invite. @NathanosDev Thanks for your interest, but we already have 3 members from Dfinity (John, Dieter and me), and we aim to have a healthy distribution amongst Dfinity people and developers from the community (3 from Dfinity, 4 from the community). Sorry we can’t include you now, but maybe in the future when we will have more maintainers. Thanks again!
